Introduction To The Reputation System

What is the reputation system?
User Reputation is a simple form rating whose basis comes from the
opinions of all of the forum users that choose take part in it. Some
people see it as a harmless toy and others as a useful tool on getting
feedback regarding the value of their posts.

What will something good/bad happen based on my reputation
level?
I'm afraid not. As I already said the reputation system is only meant
to provide feedback and nothing more. There are no hidden prizes and
the losers will not vanish into oblivion.

How does it work?
Each new user starts with 10 reputation points. The points are managed
by the forum and need no care from the user. You can see your
respective good/bad reputation by clicking on the user CP while having
reputation enabled or by clicking the little "scale" icon in one of
your posts(that will display the reputation comments for that specific
post).

Users gain and lose reputation based on how their posts are
scored(negative or positive) by other forum users. Users with the
ability to alter reputation, will either give or take aways points by
approving or disapproving a post. At most of the time, your reputation
will go up or down 1 point when evaluated by most users. Users with
higher reputations can affect it more, depending on how high their
reputation level is.

How can I tell what my reputation power is?
You reputation power depends on several factors:

You gain one point of power for a certain number of days
you have been registered.

You gain one point of power for a certain amount of posts
you have made.

You gain one power point each time a certain amount of
reputation points is received.

The higher or lower your reputation power is the bigger the change on a
members reputation level will be because of your rating.

What are these dots shown at each post?
These dots represent your reputation level:

A gray dot means that you have a reputation of exactly zero.

A red dot for a reputation below zero.

A green dot for a reputation of 1 or above.

A black dot will appear if you choose to hide reputation.

A white dot next to a comment means that the person that
rated you did not have enough power to change your level at that time.

More than one red/green dots will appear based on how high
or low your level is.

Can I disable my reputation?
If you want to hide reputation, simply go to you user CP, click
options, and choose to hide your reputation. However, hiding your
reputation does not mean switching it off, It just makes it impossible
for fellow users to see your title & level.

How do I rate a post?
Underneath each person's avatar you will find a scale button. All you
have to do is click it and fill in the form in the new window.

Privacy!
The whole point of this system is to provide anonymous feedback for the
value of your posts. For that reason and to avoid unnecessary flame
wars you can not see the name of the person that posted a comment. If
you find that you don't like the comments people are writing simply
hide your reputation and let it go. Nobody can judge for having the
reputation system hidden.

Abuse Of The Reputation System
Given the nature of this system some people are bound to use it in an
improper manner. That means that you might receive insults or negative
feedback regarding your posts. Even though we encourage people not to
take such comments seriously you are still free to report it to a
moderator.
Any reports about abuse can and will be treated according to the
severity each situation. In order to report abuse we recommend the use
of the Private Feedback forum and the
Private Messaging system. Please don't report every little thing as an
abuse as that would be an overkill.

But I don't like this whole reputation thing, all I get is
negative reputation!
If you don't like the reputation system then you can simply disable the
system in the way previously mentioned and be done with it. There is no
real need to be annoyed about it. As always you don't have to take the
comments there seriously.

Use it wisely
As a final note we would like to ask everyone to use this system
wisely. Use it to reward somebody for a useful post(positive) or to
correct a problem/mistake(negative) and never for attacking or
harassing others.

Please Note:
All of the forum rules apply to the reputation system as well.General Information

1. User Bans
Banned users will see a screen with information as soon as they log in.
Both temporary and permanently banned users have no access to any
posting features.

Please Note:
Creating a new account to bypass a ban will only lead to a new ban. It
does not matter what you did to get the original ban or how long ago
that happened.

2. Avatar-Signature Guidelines
Signatures or avatars may be removed with no warning if deemed
inappropriate or offensive. Here are some guidelines:

Use acceptable content. Any content that is found to be
inappropriate or insulting will be removed.

Keep the combined maximum image size at reasonable file
size. Some users still have bandwidth issues.

You may use text in your signature.

Blog System

Standard rules apply to the blogs as well. We offer a limited array of
categories that include emulators, games and computer technology in
general. If you wish to write about how you did at school
today(example!) then one of the many free blog hosts may be for you!
